THE USE OF THIS BOOK. 

All teachers of Phonography must have experienced the difficulty of getting pupils 
to do a sufficient amount of writing in illustration of the principles studied in each 
Lesson. But few of them can be induced to write the words and sentences more than 
once, yet there is no art that requires a greater amount of repetition of fhe same thing, 
to attain proficiency, than Phonography. Like music, it must have practice, practice, 
practice, both in writing and reading. 

In view of the facts above stated, the compiler of these Exeicises has provided the 
means for exacting from learners of Phonography the writing, and re-writing, of the 
same words and phrases, from half a dozen to a dozen times; or, in default of so doing, 
they leave a record of their delinquency, and if they fail to make the progress antici- 
pated this record will show who is at fault. 

The printing of the words and sentences in connection with the blank line-; on which 
they are to be written, will save much time to both teacher and pupil over the com- 
mon method of copying them from the Manual. There will be no time lost in turn- 
ing from the Manual to the copy-book, and there will be no need of the instructor 
calling off the words for the pupil to write. a< he will have them directly beside his pen 
every moment He will thus be enabled to do twice as much writing in the same 
time, as by the former process. 

DIRECTIONS TO TEACHER AND LEARNER. 

The pupil will study the principles in his Manual as usual, but will write the illus- 
trative words and sentences in this Exercise book, instead of taking them from the 
Manual. At first he should write them but once, and then submit them to the teacher 
for approval or correction, or correct them himself by comparing witli the Phono- 
graphic Dictionary. 

After he has obtained the correct form he is to fill each line as indicated, writing 
each one faster and better than the last, if possible, and at the same time repeat the 
words aloud or mentally. He should insert the vowel signs fully, until he has learned 
the theory of vocalization perfectly, after which they may be omitted. 

It may, with some pupils, be better to let them fill the lines for words only half full 
the first time, and on a subsequent day complete the work. But no pupil should be 
allowed to progress into an advanced lesson until he or she has completed the required 
amount of writing exercises. 

When two words are printed in the same line, or where two are included in a brace, 
it is because of their similarity or dissimilarity ; and it is intended that the learner 
shall fill part of the line with the first word, and part with the second, sometimes al- 
ternating them, as on pages 14 and 34. 

Words that are distinguished by position, as by, be, to-be; at, it, out; off, far, if, etc.- 
should be written accordingly. 

The introduction of short sentences into the first lesson, and longer ones into each 
succeeding lesson, is a new feature, Resigned to interest and encourage the learner, 
and afford desirable drill in proper writing and reading habits. The key to the word- 
signs at the top of pages, containing^ such exercises, will enable any learner to read 
the sentences and copy them understandingly. Each sentence should be read every 
time it is written.
